Ingredients

8 ears corn, husked

2 tablespoons sugar

1 tablespoons all-purpose flour

Salt and freshly ground black pepper

1 cup heavy cream

1/2 cup cold water

2 tablespoons bacon grease

1 tablespoons butter

Directions

  1. In a large bowl, cut the tip off cob. Cut the kernels from cob with a small paring knife. Using the back of the blade, scrape against the cob to press out the milky liquid.
  2. Whisk together sugar, flour, and salt and pepper, to taste. Combine with corn. Add the heavy cream and water. Mix.
  3. In a large skillet over medium heat, heat bacon grease. Add corn mixture and turn heat down to medium-low, stirring until it becomes creamy, about 30 minutes.
  4. Add the butter right before serving.

Made this for thanksgiving. Family loved it so much we had no leftovers. I did a mix of fresh and frozen corn. Only had 1/2 cup of heavy cream so I added 1/2 cup of whole milk. Omitted the sugar and it was still super sweet. Added a little more flour towards the end because it wasn’t getting thick enough. Made this hours in advance and heated it up when dinner time came.
